Tears

This chapter was one that was unbelievably challenging to write. It's long and complex.

Liam wasn't able to fall asleep after Zayn had woken him. The man sighs as he looks out the window. Louis lay next to him lightly snoring. 'He looks so peaceful.'

The man reaches for his phone, still on the charger beside the bed. He types in his long password, peeking over to make sure the boy is still asleep so he doesn't see anything.

At the top of screen is a facebook notification and an email. He checks the email first seeing that it's from his dad. He clicks the message open and reads.

"Liam,

Your mum and I are just checking to see how you're doing. It's been awhile since you called. Will you be visiting for Christmas or should we come visit you? Also, did you end up taking in that boy you were telling us about? Not a day goes by that your mother doesn't gush to her friends about how wonderful her son is for taking in a boy wiho can't take care of himself. And hearing that you and Zayn are going to be caretakers of another mentally ill boy makes even more proud of you. Oh, we're sending Harry a new knitted hat in the post so keep your eye out for that. Please call us when you get the chance. Keeping your little family in our thoughts.

Love, mum and dad."

The brunette sighs and rubs his eyes and face. He loves his parents, but sometimes they can be overbearing. He and Zayn had to lie and tell them that Harry has an illness that males him act the way he does so they wouldn't be suspicious. Due to the husbands financial stability, they never doubted why a teenager was living with them. Thankfully they only see them twice a year, but Liam knows that there is no way they will be able to let Louis meet them anytime soon. Not with how in and out of his headspace he is.

Liam's parents don't know just how far the babying goes. They are aware that Harry calls them Daddy and Papa and that the boy wears nappies, but they have never seen the nursery and the daddies intend to keep it that way.

Zayn hasn't talked to his parents since his second year of uni. The handsome man had come out to his family during a weekend spent at home, professing his love for Liam. They didn't give him a chance to explain, too disgusted that their only son was gay. So he packed up his room and never went back. Liam and Zayn got a flat together during their third year of school and by then they knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Deciding to wait a while before responding to his dad's email, he pulls down the top menu on the screen and taps the facebook notification. It's just a comment to the photo of Harry and Louis at breakfast time from his friend Jane who also has a little saying how adorable they were. The photo already has 52 likes, mainly from the other mommies and daddies plus a few other members of their community. Liam wouldn't dare add anybody who doesn't live in the community as a friend.

He slowly shifts his body away from Louis so he can get off the bed. He removes the boy's arm from his waist and presses a kiss to his temple.

Louis frowns at the loss of heat and although he is unconscious, he feels something in the pit of his stomach that doesn't feel right. His hands and head nuzzle against the mattress searching for the man, but he doesn't find him. His breathing picks up a bit, Liam couldn't tell.

Liam stands up and stretches his arms and back. It wasn't the best idea to take a nap so quickly after working out. His muscles ache and he's a bit dehydrated. The man steps into the toilet to pee before washing his hands and exiting. He then looks over to find Louis still asleep, but it doesn't look Iike a very restful nap. He goes over to his closet, opens the door and pulls down the nearest t shirt that he sees, which just so happens to be a tight fitting gray v-neck that shows off all of his muscles.
